Pastor Rhys Stenner brought an encouraging message today to Truett-McConnell College. He reminded students and faculty of our call to ministry – that ministry being one of a shepherd boy, just like David in 1 Samuel 17. To be a shepherd boy we must remember and commit to these three things:

Don't be hindered by yourself

Don't be hindered by your family

Don't be hindered by Saul's Armor

We must all come to the realization that we cannot do anything without God. It is Him from whom our help comes. As a shepherd, we must be humble and we must be ready to act in obedience.
